The Heidelberg University School of Medicine (also known as the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg, German: Medizinische Fakultät Heidelberg) is one of twelve schools at Heidelberg University. It was one of the four original faculties of the university in 1386. Today, it encompasses 22 institutes and maintains a close relationship to the University Hospital Heidelberg. Its medical degree program comprises two years of basic science, followed by the first of three steps of the German medical licensing examination, and four years of clinical studies. From 2001 on, all medical students at Heidelberg University, University Hospital Heidelberg (as opposed to the Heidelberg University Faculty of Medicine in Mannheim) pursue a reformed, six-year-long course called "HeiCuMed" ("Heidelberger Curriculum Medicinale"). This degree course is an adapted version of the Harvard Medical School curriculum. Undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs of Heidelberg University Medical School have played a fundamental role in Heidelberg being awarded "University of Excellence" status by the German Universities Excellence Initiative.

The Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) is an interdisciplinary research institute of the University of Mannheim, founded in 1989. It is located in the square A5 of the city of Mannheim nearby the Mannheim Palace. The institute devotes itself to research on societal and political developments in Europe. Research focus is located in comparative research on Europe and the investigation of the European integration. The MZES mainly carries out basic research, financed by external funds from the German national research foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), foundations promoting scientific research, and research funds from the European Union. Furthermore, the MZES, closely related to the School of Social Sciences of the University of Mannheim, gives training and support to young social scientists, when starting their scientific careers. At present, approximately 80 social scientists and 60 students are working at the MZES. Thus, the MZES is the largest institute of the University of Mannheim, and the largest research institute of a German university in the field of the social sciences. From 1989–1998 the institute was composed of four work units: I Social structure and the Welfare State II Elections and Policy Research III Political and Social Integration IV German Democratic Republic / East Europe (1992 to 1998)In 1999, these four work units were reduced to two research departments: Research Department A, The European Societies and their Integration: since December 2021 directed by the sociologist Marc Helbling. Research Department B, The European Political Systems and their Integration: since February 2022 directed by the political scientist Thomas Bräuninger.The director and the heads of the research departments together form the executive board of the institute. The activity of the executive board and the institute is controlled by a supervisory board. The institute's research program is outlined for three years and evaluated by an international scientific advisory board. An annual report informs about the institute's activity.
